Checking in daily to maintain focus #72

Day 9! Almost double digits and my longest time being sober since a really long long time.
Feeling tired and irritated today, but went to a friend and that made me feel better.

Now I’m on the couch watching a series till it’s time to pick up the kids. These are the moments, when I’m home alone with time to spare that are the hardest to resist…

Keep going strong! :muscle:

Day 283

Calm, sunny beautiful foggy morning. Will be freakishly warm today, and back to winter tonight. Got my patrol drive in early this morning. I think the lights on the car make the Ms Does extra crazy. :grinning:. We had a protest (people!) last time I drove but super quiet this morning. Just wildlife. I feel much more rested after 6 hours sleep. More hopeful too. Things will come together.

Enjoy your day. I may catch some of that sun while I can! It was so gloomy I had my therapy light on yesterday…haha

Day 715

Still have that bug lingering on. Got some things from the pharmacy for my sinuses so I’m hoping that gets rid of it.
Been over a week now since I’ve run and I just can’t wait to get back to it when I’m better.

Day 8 - Checking In, busy day at work, but feeling pretty solid overall. Going to focus on just keeping on top of my “regular maintenance”, making sure I’m eating, and exercising.

I think I’m fighting a bit of a head cold, but the clean living is making it a lot more manageable than in the past.

Goals for the day:

  • good food
  • full work day
  • laundry
  • gym
  • read

So proud of you all!

Nice job Millie! I’m one day behind you on Day 8, you’ve got this thing and you’re already starting to feel the power of sobriety.

Proud of you and sending strength :slight_smile:

Just checking in,

Since getting a therapist/confessing to my wife back in October, i’ve been free. No setbacks, no cravings, nothing. I’m just controlling my thinking, fighting self absorbed actions, communicating with my wife, while focusing on gratitude and doing the work every day. I listen to therapy podcast on fighting shame, guilt, being present for my wife and forgiving myself for past issues. My therapist is helping alot with my process and more beneficial coping strategies. I will be checking in more often, as it’s just part of my growth process. I’m not looking to be perfect, but just alert to what i’m happening to me. My wife deserves my best and that’s what i’m trying to give her. Plus, i’m trying to drop 60 lbs next year, so that’s fun!

Day 88 no form of pot

I thought about my last high
It’s like it was yesterday
I’m so happy to be at 88 days

My last high wasn’t even worth it
I got irritable, confused… My Dr said is counteracts with my med haldol. Pot and haldol do completely opposite of each other

So I’m at 88 days
I think the last time was 84

Checking in. I’m still angry to myself for the weed relapse, full of shame and guilt. But otherwise this day has been ok. Walking and watching series, pretty lazy day. I’m feeling tired, so gonna hit a bed early today.

Hey everyone. Just checking in. I know several of you see me on Social Media. Just thought I’d drop a line and let you all know that I’m doing well and the family is great. Life and stuff. Still working on addiction. Not great at it, but it’s not a daily struggle. Maybe monthly. Chalk it up to a lack of discipline. I can always improve.

Time between sunrise and sunset is currently five hours and most days the sun is behind thick clouds. :cloud: It ain’t helping with my depression. I eat too much and just try to hang in there. I know I’ll get my energy back some day. Now I just am. Exist. :dotted_line_face: :low_battery:

I saw this sentence in pinterest
Create a vision that makes you jump out of bed in the morning.
I wrote it on first page of my notebook. I hold on to the thought and contemplate what my vision could be while waiting the sun to come back in my life.

Day 339 AF

My first day in after a month leave was actually a night. 12 hour OT shift from 7pm-7am… holy crap was I tired. Was up 26 hours (I love my sleep) and also got an hour gym session in during day before hand… may have been a mistake.
Home, slept 8am-1pm, so trying to remain groggy so I can sleep again easy tonight for first regular shift tomorrow, unless I get called in for salting the sidewalks again…

Jumping curbs all night weaving in and out of granite stairs, light posts, rock walls, and pedestrians (why the heck are there so many people out walking around at 1, 2, 3am on a Sunday night??? Baffling.
Anyway, feeling a bit my age after that beat up, but plan to be up at 4am tomorrow to hit the treadmill before work in the morn…

Happy sober day peeps… pic of my machine I get to run all winter. Not sure about this torture device.

Checking in! :wave:t2:
Still on holidays, but today the weather sucked. It was raining so I skipped my morning walk.
Had lunch with my mom, and helped her with some paperwork she still has to get done for her pension after my dad passed.
Once home I did a punch bag workout! :innocent::boxing_glove:
Now chilling on the couch with little Mr. P and a cup of tea!

Kids were at school, I didn’t have any outdoor missions to accomplish (no work, no groceries, no appointments), I was just chilling at the sofa watching polish standup. Boy was I laughing. I don’t remember having such a laugh. And such a lazy day. Could be years. From January I will also work on Mondays, so no more lazy days, but maybe it’s beter. I ate shitload of food. Some salad, perhaps? Fruits maybe? Nuts? I wish :frowning: Sugar, sugar, sugar. And hectoliters of coffee. So better no more home alone, chill days for this girl. Sorry, for this middle aged woman :wink:
It was a good day anyway. I needed it.
Live you :blue_heart:
